My images get distorted. Already in the content type. I tried images of 300 by 245. Am I doing something wrong?

Tony,
The content type handles the raw files, so you only have to create one
field for the image upload.
For each individual node, Imagecache (which is built into D7) handles
the resizing. When you install Gallery Formatter, it adds 2 sizes in
Imagecache settings (one for slide and one for thumbnail).
For the /portfolio page (which uses Views), you can chose one of the
existing/default sizes from Imagecache or create one that works for the
width of your content area in your theme.
Very Respectfully,
Cesar Covarrubias
